Re: mcedit: Is there a way to tell mcedit to start in window mode instead of full screen?
Hi, the options for a cascade (-w/--cascade) and tiling (-T/--tile) arrangement are implemented in https://midnight-commander.org/ticket/4184 patch. Also, menu entries (in Window submenu) are added. You can test the patch, if you like, it would help.

Re: mcedit: Is there a way to tell mcedit to start in window mode instead of full screen?
The cascading windows is a very nice idea because you could see all of the files that were opened.But if that is too difficult, dividing the screen into two rows of tiled windows (maximum 6 or 8) would be reasonable .Thanks much for your better idea.

(I'm replying to the list this time, just ensuring that it's not missed) Can I ask for clarification: - when an option, -w for example, will be given, - then mc should start with the file's window in windowed (not fullscreen mode), - for multiple files, possibly arranged the windows in e.g.: cascading way, ? I think that this would involve first creating a CK_WindowCascade action that would arrange the windows (first exiting fullscreen if needed).
